It's the end of the world as you know it – brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire

Funny moment – Little Red Riding Hood

This happened a while back, but I thought I would share it anyway. My group of 6 mates plus a few pugs were doing Kara as our usual Friday night entertainment, when we got to the Opera Event.

The perfromance scheduled for the night was Big Bad Wolf… no worries, done it a heap of times before, there are always a few casualties, but the wolf always meets his maker.

Run little Gnome, run…

So it begins, everyone is slicing, dicing and blasting the big furbal with teeth (or is that the furball with big teeth). The fireballs had been brewing in me all night, and I was letting rip when I see flashing on the screen “YOU ARE RED RIDING HOOD” joined by the screams over TS of Run little Gnome, run…

That’s one of the reasons I hate this fight, as the token Gnome in our party, i always start running when I hear people yell that… Anyway, there was a good reason for it this time, and I was leading the wolf on a merry chase, but.. unfortunately for me he caught me at the back of the house and I made a small red stain on the stage.

Larger red stains appeared one by one after that

Larger red stains appeared one by one after that, for once it was like there was a competition between my mates as to how fast they could die while wearing the hood.

One by one until all that was left was our bear tank and a pug dps shamen… our tank became LRRH, he ran and ran.. all clear.. just the rwo of them on the Wolf still, and the fur is slowly peeling away.. Vent is vascialating between dead silence and screams…

RUN RUN RUN

The Wolf makes the tank LRRH again… TS comes alive… RUN RUN RUN.. but LRRG isn’t moving, she is facing off against the Wolf…. RUN RUN RUN screams everyone.. but that little pseudo-gnome just stands there and takes it like a… gnome.

Fanfare… Wolf is down!

What the???? TS is raging again.. No one can believe that Little Red Riding Hood has taken out the Big Bad Wolf.

In hindsight, one should have more faith in Gnomes… even those dressed in red… but ummm… What the?

How about you?

Unbelievable last moment stands anyone?

Gnomer and Out!

I can remember one occasion on Vaelastrasz the Guild-Killer in Blackwing Lair when he was FAR from on farm status. It was looking like it was going to be a clean kill, when suddenly one of the rogues over-aggroed on 2%. Vael turns, breathes all over the raid, swipes and cleaves. All of the healers drop dead except one Pally who somehow survives. There are maybe three dps, the pally and the MT still alive. Vael turns back to the tank and practically one-shots him. Then he starts one-shotting the surviving dps, except now he’s at 1%.

The Pally starts spamming heals on the dps but he’s wasting his time, quick as a flash he whips out his 2h Mace and starts whaling into Vael. Within 5 seconds he’s the only one left alive, TS is drowned out by the other 39 raiders all screaming “GOOOO XOBRA! KILL HIM!” at the same time.

Yep, he killed him. To this day we have no idea how he lived.

My own “oh shit oh shit” moment was on High King Maulgar, but it wasn’t exactly a last stand moment. I was mage-tanking Krosh, we set up the pull, I opened up with a Pyroblast. Then something goes horribly wrong. For some reason, I don’t know if Maulgar dodged the tank’s initial Sunder or what, but High King Maulgar is running straight at me as I’m spellstealing Krosh’s Fireshield. He reaches me, swings… I hold my breath…
